Don't get us wrong. We love The Muppets. Everybody loves the Muppets. But we love some Muppets more than others, because some Muppets are better than others, while some made us groan whenever they appeared on-screen.

You thought your life was complete. You were so very very wrong. Because until now, you had not seen Upside Downton Abbey, in which Muppet Carson attempts to serve tea and crumpets to Muppet Dowager Countess.
